Riverside High School

Client(s): Loudoun County Public Schools

Location: Loudoun County, Virginia

Project: Riverside High School

Description: Public High School

Project Elements: Urban provided services for entitlement and design of all improvements related to Riverside High School. Urban initially assisted LCPS during site selection by preparing layouts, preliminary engineering and feasibility studies on three potential sites for HS-8. Once the National Conference Center (NCC) site was selected by the Board of Supervisors,Urban prepared and gained approval of a Special Exception,a Zoning Concept Plan Amendment,two Construction Plans and Profiles for road improvements and a Site Plan for the school.

Urban worked closely with LCPS to ensure the design of the site honored Loudoun County's many environmental policy constraints and the Lansdowne Conservancy's Design Guidelines without compromising elements required by LCPS's Educational Specifications. Urban prepared plans in coordination with the NCC so that access and utility services to the NCC would be maintained throughout construction. Urban performed utility designations,survey locations, and relocation plans for a maze of mapped and unmapped utilities on the NCC site. Urban and its subconsultant Davis Utility Consulting were able to design relocation plans that were executed by LCPS's contractor without disruption to the NCC campus.

The complexity of the project required Urban to prepare contract documents showing six major phases of construction, many of which contained multiple sub-phases for specific tasks such as maintenance of traffic. We believe that our dedication and commitment from project inception, to coordination with the multipie project stakeholders,to ourrole during Construction Administration have been instrumental in making the Riverside High School project a reality, and could not have been equaledby any other civil engineering consultant.
